Car Mechanic Simulator 2014

Not sure if serious...



I wonder when you unlock sharp intake of breath and can't get the part until next week modes.

Believe me, I've seen worse "simulators".

 

[TJ13]

There are a lot of "Simulators" out there just some are just weird or bad or just blah. Some are good others not so much.

Kinda reminds me of Gearhead Garage from long time ago. Looks fun for a silly pass time game.


Gearhead Garage:

It actually looks better than I expected for all these influx of simulator games these days, I loved Gearhead garage growing up.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

Its released!

Love to drive and race them; but to be honest regarding the internal workings of a car i don't know crap!
They should make one for dummies like myself, so we could all practice virtually in case our real life cars break down

Watching wheeler dealer's helped a bit though.

 

[GTboyz]

Looks fun, might try this out.

 

[Davidies]

After watching a review, I'd say this is WAY better than Garbage Truck Simulator or Delivery Truck Simulator, which we do not talk about.

 

[Jahgee]

Looks like a good game with excellent modding capabilites

 

[Kamuifanboy]

Yep, Nerd Cubed liked it, and he's not exactly a car guy. I was really thinking about picking this up but, wanted to know if it got repetitive or not.

Looks like a good way to play a soothing simulator. Sort of like ETS 2.

This game looks like it has a lot of potential. If it focused on tuning and customizing cars instead of repairing them and if it had career mode with street racing, it would practically be a modern-day Street Rod:

My initial reaction was similar to dhandeh's and tbh until I watched the Nerd3 video I'd written it off as just another stupid game simulation a job I wouldn't want but it looks like it might be fairly good. I was pleasantly surprised with Euro Truck Simulator 2 so I may be with this.
Probably worth a punt when it's on Steam sale

 

[Rage Racer]

I've bought it and don't regret. Pretty fun and learning (recommended to those who don't have a car yet or who never opened the hood of their Ford Focus). But the performance of the game sucks. The FPS is not good on my not so bad PC.

Well I don't see any harm resurrecting this. The game is on it's 2015 edition to PC, and compared to the vids here it looks better, but it's still a very solid game I've already sunk more hours than I should have into it. It is a bit of a slow boil, but as the training wheels fall away I see just that, a progressive increase in tasks and difficulty, mainly when they stop giving you the lists. But that keeps it interesting to me, so I'm engrossed and properly distracted from reality.

There are a few knocks. I don't see how the DLC is worth the costs, but I don't know that not having it really detracts too much so it's fair I guess. I don't like the music at all, but playing without it can get dull quickly. Why can't I repair almost everything that isn't designed to be throw-away? Lastly, WTF is it with green vehicles? Seriously, more than 1/2 the jobs I've done were on some bright gaudy green mass.

I really enjoy the 2015 version and have most of the DLC, I figured it was worth it since I have over 30 hours of play time. When they made it so you could customize the cars and do engine swaps, it made the game way more fun. The DeLorean DLC is pretty cool too since you can make a V8 powered Back to the Future clone.

 

[BKGlover]

@Joey D Yeah, I came across FailRace building a DeLorean, it's actually what lead me to consider buying the game.

Later Edit: For the record, I take back what I said about the DLC not being worth it. just browsing around Steam has made me reconsider the proposition.
